Problem conclusion
PX Job doesn't abort despite fatal error raised by filter stage IS 8.0.1. It is generally the responsibility of the code producing the error to return a failure status that is checked by the caller. There are other places in the code where it is the responsibility of the caller to query the log to see if an error message has been placed in it and return a failure status itself. In this case, The function doesn't return a status, so it is expecting the caller to check the passed log for error level messages using the hasError() call and take the appropriate action. In this case this would mean returning failure status from filter's describeOperator().
